Children of woMen

I enjoyed both the book and the film. Out of the two, I have to admit that the movie was more action packed and it had my attention for a longer time than the book did. The book's problem was that it took to long to get good. We had to suffer through a whole first act where Theo was just writing a useless diary, or if you want me to be modern -just another blog to get lost in the sandbox of blogs we already have. I really liked the book because it was very interesting and unique. I really enjoyed how Theo's character developed a pair of -well, you know. It was quite inspirational and it was also a "FINALLY!" moment. During the first chapter you thought that Theo's character was going to be the same old hard headed character throughout the whole book.

Like I said, I liked the movie more than the book. This is for several reasons. The main reason why I enjoyed the movie more than the book is -well, I like movies more than books. I know it's not something I should admit, but I know that a lot of people agree with me. The other reason I enjoyed it was because it had my attention the whole time. On top of all that, the first half of the movie wasn't about how miserable someone's life was. Another part of the movie I liked was the character Kee. As we know, she was not in the book. At first I was slightly annoyed by it, but once I thought about how much more poetic the story became because of this young African actress -I loved it.

Needless to say I give the book 6 diary entries out of 12 diary entries.
I give the movie 9 strawberry cough joints out of 13 strawberry cough joints.
